I didn’t have much up on the Spectrum Culture site this week, which seemed weirdly appropriated since I was preoccupied for most of the days. There was no corollary between the two–most things that would have posted this week would have been written before my chores pulled me away from the laptop–but it was sort of nice for the cyber-version of me to be fairly absent in all respects simultaneously.

The one full-length effort of mine was a reviews of the new album from White Denim. The pull quote they used what the review was up on the main page was “this is what Meat Puppets would have sounded like if they’d decided to scrap their own songs and start a Doug Sahm cover band,” which, I must admit, I did like.

I also offered my contribution to this week’s List Inconsequential, confessing to a a big, daunting cinder block of a book that I’m too intimidated to crack open. I’m amused that Thomas Pynchon shows up twice on the list.
